Well I've found myself torn between wanting to write more of The Last collector, and working on another story I've had in mind for a long time as well. The other story is a bit more of a traditional fantasy story with dragons and magic and such, but a few twist to the world, which I call Antheros.
I've finished a few chapters of Collector and I think I may take a break from it and flesh out a few of the ideas for Antheros before I continue with Collector. I like the Collector story I have planned, but I'm not certain about the main character yet. I feel like I need to inject more of his personality into the writing.
I have kinda the opposite problem with my Antheros world. I like the character I have in mind, but I haven't really fleshed out the story yet. I plan to write some more stuff down about the world over the next few days and see if anything comes to mind. If it does and I tend to prefer it I may put Collector on the back burner for now and work on that instead.
I think part of it is I've never written a book before and the world I've made for Collector is very complex. The Antheros world is a bit more straight forward (although some aspects of it are more complicated). I think for a first novel it might be easier for me to write something in Antheros (as i'm more comfortable in the realm of fantasy than dystopian future). We'll see...
